* • SAVANNAH NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.’ MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 23. 1865. NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. SAVANNAH: MONDAY MORNING, OCT. 83d. THE J^TATE CONVENTION- On Wednesday next the Convention whieh is to redeem or destroy the future reputation of our State, mil assemble at Milledgeville. As we have before re marked, no deliberative body of equal im portance has ever convened in the Em pire State, and the people of Georgia, as the whole nation, are eagerly and with the greatest anxiety watching for the first key notes. Our knowl edge of the political status of the majority of the delegates elected from the various counties, impresses us with the belief that the entire session of the Con vention will be marked with harmony and conservatism, and the true interests of our State will not be neglected, nor the wishes of the people disregarded by the men who have been entrusted with such grave responsibilities ae rest upon every delegate. The ordinance of secession must be cheerfully and without a dissenting voice declared null and void. Let us save our State from such a blot as rests upon the Convention record of our sister State, South Carolina, where three delegates voted against the repeal of the ordinance of secession. We predict that there will be no unnecessary delay in our Conven - tion towards restoring Georgia to her proper relations with the Government, and that with so many delegates of ac knowledged talent, ability, and strong influence, Gov. Johnson will be able to report Georgia safely in the Union within a month,-that is so far as a ready acquies cence in the “new order of things” can restore us. ’ The fearful Confederate debt which overhangs our State must be repudiated, and that this will be done we cannot doubt, although we hear of one or two delegates who are in favor of acknowledging the rebel debt. It is not probable, however, that such a proposition as the recommending of the unjust measure will even be introduced in the Convention. That the curse of slavery will be gladly wiped forever from our State, admits of no reasonable doubt. We trust that the humane and sensible action of the Legislature of Mississippi in sanctioning the admission of colored testimony in the) Courts of justice, will be imitated. The question of universal suffrage of which so much was said by our political opponents in the recent election for delegates, will probably not be broached, as it is a mat ter with which Conventions have little or nothing to do, the decision resting with the Legislature. A great deal of foolish talk has been indulged in here about ‘ ‘uni versal suffrage,” but it does not require a great deal of metaphysical ingenuity to understand that this great question is not yet an issue, con sequently all the abuse and rhodo- montade that were lavished upon the candidates of the Georgia Union Club was so much idle bosh. However, “every thing is fair in war,” and we presume it is the same in politics, but there was something decidedly ridiculous in our political opponents striving to make the people believe that the great problem of universal suffrage was to be decided by a State Convention, convened by the au thority of a Provisional Governor. There are Several obnoxious clauses in our old State Constitution, which will undoubt edly be discussed, and the whole compact so revised as to render justice to all men in the full enjoyments of their rights and liberties. It may be that the Convention will de cide as her sister State Mississippi has in relation to submitting to the people the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery in the United States, the latter Convention deciding by a large majority that it was a question with which they had no authority to act, the Legislature alone having the power to act on that Amendment. All we ask for is,* that whatever is done may be done quickly and that the proceedings of the Georgia State Con vention may be harmonious and effective, and characterized by that spirit which Justice, Wisdom aud Moderation now so urgently demands. Upon the voice of our Convention hangs the future weal or woe of Georgia, and we trust that our people will not be discouraged by reading of an gry harangues on the differences of the past, and in foolish lamentations over the downfall of slavery. The delegates sent to thia Convention should refrain from wrangling discussions over old notions, and let energy, discretion and unanimity prevail, until this work of gigantic impor tance is properly and completely finished. We shall expect to hear good reports from men with honest hearts, no matter how widely they have differed from us in the bitter past. Let partizan feeling and vindictive rancor, engendered by the war, be buried, and while passion subsides reason will assert her rights, and justice again resume triumphant sway. The inter ests of the people are at stake ; popular men haveybeen sent to protect them, and as the delegates are men of capacity, se lected with especial regard for their tq represent the varied interests of our people, they havo a right to demand that their rights and interests are ca fully guarded and not imperilled by rash ness. As faithful chroniclers of the times it is evident that we have but one course to pursue, and that is to advocate all measures put forth for the benefit of the people. We do not care to stop now to enquire whether a man has been a whig, a demo crat, a States rightrfanatic, conservative or radical secessionist, providing his ac tions to-day show a desire to yield implicit obedience to the laws of the land. We look now for honesty of purpose in the mo tives of all public meii. Wherever we see a determination to faithfully sustain the Government, we mean to render our hearty support, and as we have no de sire but for the speedy prosperity of Georgia, and the obliteration of all the gloomy traces of the uuhappy strife which severed the bonds that once united us and made us a free, happy and prosper ous people. '. If wisdom, consistency and integrity prevails, such steps will be taken in the Convention as will soon renew our former amicable relations with the Government, and without the restoration of which, the doom of Georgia is sealed. The folly and madness that ruled four years ago and worked so much mischiefgpnd misery, has got to be atoned for by solemn pledges for the future. Govern meut has generously permitted us to at tempt, in our own way, to restore the laws and re-organize our State, that she may enter at once upon a career of renewed and greater prosperity than she has ever enjoyed before. If passion, in consistency, and the bitter prejudices of slavery are allowed to warp the judgment of the delegates, we may be sure that the refractory conduct will meet with prompt punishment, and we shall soon learn keenly that “The conqueror gives law to the conquered,” and that national law is higher than State law. Our people, those of them who endorsed and advocated the secession movement, may yet hear the tinkling of the Presidential bell at the White House, whose tones will proclaim that by our past acts we are prevented from claiming any rights under the laws we so stubbornly repudiated and readily annulled. Let no ungrateful factionsts retard the progress of the noble Wotk of reconstruc tion. It would be well for ambitions men to remember what, a contempo rary well says with regard to reconstruc tion, that it “does not consist in the ap pointment of Provisional Governors, Fed eral Judges, District Attorneys, Marshals, and other Federal officers in the South ern States, nor in the popular election of conventions and new Legislatures; nor even in the election of Senators and Re- presenatatives to Congress. It practi cally lies in the actually refilling of the vacant chairs in Congress. When Sena tors and Repsentatives from the South ern States shall come to the National Capitol with legal and true titles to the deserted seats, and shall be admitted to them, then, and not until then, will the old relations of the Southern States to the Union be practically restored. There fore it behooves these States to see well to it that their new Senators and Repre- setatives come with such titles.” An Editor Dead. Janies A. Dix, Esq., editor of the Boston Journal, died recently in the West, where he had gone to recover his health, threatened by the insidious approaches of consumption. Mr. Dix had been twenty-nine years engaged in the Journal office. That paper, in noticing his decease at 43 years of age, says : “When about fourteen years of age, he entered the Journal office as an apprentice, and became a rapid and skillful compositor. Ho then succeeded his father as ship news collector, and for several years filled that position with marked ability and success. Ho was subsequently advanced to the position of assistant editor, and in 1854 Mr. Dix became the editor, and has held that position until the day ot his death. His writ ings were marked with singular perspicuity, close adherence to the subject in hand, sound reasoning and well balanced judgment. He wasted no words, and had no patience with the extravagance and affected smartness which sometimes disfigure modern journalism. He bore all classes of readers in mind, and direct ed his editorial efforts for the benefit of each with rare discretion and success.” The Boston Transcript says of him “To all who knew Mr. Dix personally, there was something inexpressibly attractive in the blended modesty and decision of his character, in the qniet self reliance of bis bearing, in the thorough integrity of bis mind and disposition His breWren of the press owe it to his mem ory that a man so honorable, so just, so re gardful of the feelings of others, so large and generous in his judgments, of such nnmistake- able vigor of mind and solidity of acquire ments, of such conscientious devotion to the performance of important public duties, should not be allowed to pass away without the most emphatic testimony to his talents'add vfrtoes.” [Phila. Ledger. In the death of Mr. James A. Dix, the newspaper world loses one of its bright est and most useful ornaments. Those of the fraternity who have enjoyed an acquaintance ^rith the deceased could not fail to have been impressed with the honesty of his motives and the sterl ing worth of his character. Though in dependent in his writings on all sub jects, they were not, marked | with that vein of egotism which too of^n mark the editorial columns of the press. In politics Mr. Dix was a Conservative Re publican, and to his ready and powerful pen may be atttributed much of the unity that hn^ for years per vaded the councils of that party in New England. The loss of such an upright man will be severely felt throughout New England, where the Boston Journal ex erted a powerful political influence in all the national and local pendent to prostitute his press for syco phantic fame. Society has lost one of its most valuable members, the press a shining light, and the jieople an able ex ponent, in the death of James A. Dix, Esq. To the afflicted family we tender our deepest sympathies in these their hours of sore distress. Dissolution of the Georgia La^d and Emigration Company- Why the Scheme Was Abandoned. We were favored on Saturday with a pleasant call from Judge R. T. Gibson, a gentleman whose reputation for integri ty aud ability, is too well-known in Geor gia to require any commendation at our bands. Judge Gibson, as many of our readers are aware, has been deeply in terested in the success of the Georgia Land and Emigration Company, the ob jects of which have been fully set forth in the prospectus of the Company, pub lished for several weeks in the columns of the Republican. Mr. John W. Magill, one of the committee, recently went North for the purpose of completing such arrangements as were necessary for the furtherance of this most laudable en terprise. Mr. Gibson informs us that the labors and aims of the Georgia Emi gration and Land Company have been entirely superceded by the incorporation of an extensive and well erganized Com pany in New York, called the “Ameri can Emigration Company,” which has been “‘Chartered for the Purpose of Pro curing and Assisting Emigrants from Foreign Countries to Settle in the United States,” with an authorized capital of $1,000,000. So complete and thorough are the plans of the American Emigration Com pany, that Judge Gibson states that the Committee of the Georgia Company have decided, in view of their not yet having obtained a charter, aad the pos sibility of considerable delay in obtain ing the requisite amount of funds, to cease all further efforts for the prosecu tion of their scheme. The American Company’s plans will render the estab lishing of State Companies superfluous, inasmuch as they propose to supply every State with laborers and artizans of every kind at tlie shortest notice. We have before us a well printed pamphlet of some sixty pages, in which are clearly explained the objects of the American Company, their plans, modus operandi of securing enterprising emi grants, &c. The Company have agencies established in Liverpool, Sweden, Nor way, Denmark, Gothenburg, Germany, Hamburg, France, Belgium and Switzer land, where they have special correspon dents to aid them in carrying out their feasible undertaking. Lack of space prevents our alluding to this important labor movement, upon the speedy success of which depend the vital interests of our State and the future industrial prosperity of our people, but we shall refer to the subject at greater length hereafter An Era in the History of Transporta tion. The first shipment of flour, by rail, that ever came through from Chicago without break ing bulk, was received yesterday _by Messrs. Hills & Brother of this city. This Hour was shipped by Messrs. Leonard Bros. & Jennisou, of Chicago, on the 4th day of this mouth, by tho “lied Line” via Michi gan Southern, New York Central, Western and Worcester railroads—arriving here in five days’ time; ordinarily it would require from twenty to thirty days, and oftentimes even longer. This deservedly named “fast line” is destined to create a great revolution in the freighting of merchandize between the Great West and the East. Already there have been put npon the route some four hundred cars, and there is stiU demand for a greater number, and it is the intention of the companies, as fast as circum stances may warrant their doing so, to increase their capacity to three thousand cars. [Boston Traveller. SAVANNAH WIWLHPIM®. In view of the great political changes that hare been wrought throughout our land daring the last four years, the events of the war having swept away the great element of antagonism which formerly existed between the two sections, we have resolved to send forth our sheet under a new title. In adopting the new name, which we trust will meet with the approval of our readers, we are actuated by a desire to obliterate all traces of sectionalism, and our future aim will be to publish a paper which can be read with pleasure and profit at every fireside ; in the savannahs of the South and the icy regions of the North. Oar intention is to make the Savannah National Repub lican a cosmopolitan newspaper. The generous support so kindly extended to us by all classes of our citizens, as well as by our Northern and Western well wishers, shall bejreeiprocated by renewed exertions on our part to render the Sa- rannah National Republican a welcome visitor to the family circle, the counting room and the workshop. We have identified our interests with those of Savannah, and while we may politically differ and oppose some of onr best and warmest personal friends, we shall strive to keep our columns undefiled from the Billingsgate slang that frequent ly marked the political discussions of the press. Our patrons may rest assured that we shall in the future as in the past, continue to lend our aid to the advocacy of all jnst and humane enterprises, and whatever influence we possess, shall al ways be used in encouraging the true in terests of Savannah, Georgia aud the great American sisterhood of States. We devote the columns of the Savannah Na tional Repuldicai. Pro Bono Publico. Our advertising friends North and our exchanges will do us a great personal fa vor by noticing the change of title, and sending in future all communications to “The Savannah National Republican."
